The Magic Lantern has created a work that will end up on many end-of-the-year lists. The songs on A Reckoning Bell stand out in their capacity to both communicate and transform expectations. Few albums today do both so well.

The Magic Lantern shares new single ‘Family Affair’ – “one of the songs I’m most proud of. Stripped back, raw, direct – these are simplest and most profound tools I’ve got right now.”

Our Song of the Day comes from the tranquil vocals of Jamie Doe who performs under the moniker of The Magic Lantern. ‘No One’s Fault’ is taken from his new album.

This weeks Nest Collective Hour will be hosted by Jamie Doe (The Magic Lantern) who will be bringing you a great choice of tunes as well as featuring the massively talented Abi Wade. Don’t miss it!

This week’s show features some special guests: Jamie Doe of The Magic Lantern and Ballina Whalers, singing songs from both projects in advance of The Ballina Whalers EP launch on the 7th Dec.

Good news! It is not the end of The Magic Lantern as Jamie Doe announces plans to continue in a new solo direction + tour with fellow Hectic Eclectic songsmith, Facometer!

We talk to Fred Thomas a member of The Beguilers, a recently formed F-IRE Collective band that bring together tender, melliflous singing and sensitively crafted song-writing.

The candle-lit environs of Dalston’s Cafe Oto felt a particularly apt setting for chamber-folk five-piece The Magic Lantern to host their single launch party. Amongst the flickering tea-lights atop wooden tables, decorated with remnants of Organic beer and homemade cakes, a crowd of friends, family and listeners new and old gathered.
